Slammersman Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The Birmingham Bulls are trurning to the SPHL Art Clarkson the owner that brought them back in the 1990's are bringing them back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaumatrope Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I always thought that was an interesting logo. There are so many elements in it that I can only assume have some kind of significance that is totally lost on me. The whole thing comes across as feeling Egyptian or African...possibly Native American. Definitely one of the more unique depictions of a bull in professional sports...anybody know the story behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammersman Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 only thing I know it is a bull face in an old style goaltender mask. I have a put a logo concept in the concept section trying to update it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it isn't, why the heck does it have a hockey mask behind it? It makes no sense. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammersman Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 well if it was an old mask it was not see through so the Bull came through the mask.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Nice to see the Bulls return. Pretty much adds more coal to the nostalgia train engine, right? The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact first time seeing this logo) My interpretation after seeing this was that it was implying that the bull face was painted on to the hockey mask but they did a poor job defining eye holes so I am not sure if there are actual eyes behind the mask or do the eye holes have the irises omitted kind of like a jack o lantern. edit - yes I do see that the horns go past the edge of the mask adding to the visual confusion.

Frylock Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 @Milkman14 makes some valid points. However, after how many years it's been since this logo came out, I still struggle to look past the smiling eyes and mouth at the very top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
